“After just one day of training, I felt comfortable with my Solea. The handpiece felt natural from the beginning and this excitement was heightened when I saw the Solea’s anesthesia-free and blood-free capabilities firsthand. This dental laser has increased the number of procedures we are able to perform daily because we rarely need to use anesthesia. I am so impressed with the efficiency gain that I now own more than one!”

Start Strong. Grown Confident.
Stay Supported.
Our comprehensive training and continuing education programs are designed to ensure that doctors can integrate Solea quickly and seamlessly – so dentists can focus on the dentistry instead of the device.
Initial On-Boarding
Solea is simple to use. You will be fully capable and comfortable using Solea after a one-day, comprehensive training session conducted by a Solea trainer.
Newly trained Solea dentists work closely with a Clinical Coach to plan and review their first few weeks of Solea procedures, reinforce training and help with any challenges.
At installation, a Field Service Engineer will train your clinical support staff on daily setup and maintenance, and other routine Solea maintenance activities.
You and your team will have access to a vast library of online resources, including training materials, case studies, discussion boards, and more. Whether you want to master a new procedure or bring a new assistant up to speed on set-up and maintenance, everything you need is available in a digital format.
Clinical Coaching Team
Our Clinical Coaches take learning one step further with in-office, chairside guidance for your whole team. From reviewing patient communication to maintenance protocols, their expert, compassionate approach helps your practice integrate Solea smoothly and confidently from day one.
Solea Success Managers
To ensure Solea users are always learning and up-to-date with the latest Solea announcements, each practice works with a dedicated Solea Success Manager. Educational sharing calls are held to cite clinical cases, best practices, and share any new information related to laser dentistry.
